If you're a libertarian, then you should realize that these money would come out of other people's pockets without their actual approval. Have a fund for poor financed voluntarily. Don't force people to pay for things they disagree with.
- zanny 13y agoThe problem is funding that poverty relief fund is not giving you a competitive advantage in a systemically brutal market. If you give charity (beyond the tax emept parts) while your competition invests, you are losing ground. If society forces a 10% consumption tax on goods transactions, or you could just put a 10% profit tax, you don't create an environment where being empathetic is bad business.
